VOL XXIV- BARNWELL. SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY. JUNE i>, 1901. REGNANT ’ COMMERCIALISM pivots of awheel) another epeude his of constitutional liberty is yet alive whole life grinding the little jewels, a third devotes his whole time to the making of the hair-spring, and so on through the whole. The results the most perfect timepiece fie world knows. In the case of the grand father’s watch probably one man made the whole and spent months in doing it—the watch much inferior, but what of the watchmaker? Specialism vastly improves the pro duct, *but it infinitely dwarfs the pro ducer. All knowledge is now special ized and the aggregate of the known is immeasurably increased. A man spends months scrutinizing an insect through a microscope, and adds much to the world’s knowledge of the insect, but how narrow becomes the horizon of such a man! -The. world of scholarship is much broader, but it is by no means sure that the individual scholar measures up to the standard of the former gen eration; many very ordinary preachers know many things unknown in Bishop Lighifoot’s day, but you make a day's journey through prominent modern universities without finding a scholar whose loins are as thick as I.igbtf'^’t'* little finget! The old cuiriculum of mx or eight prcfesso's is now divided among a (Hundred or more; every department divided and . sub-divided again and again, but 1 fear that such specialism Las greatly sacrificed the compreben siveness and the h eadth which turned out the old scholar “ teres tolundus- que’’ .Specialism lo a certain extent is good, but there is reMou to fear that it may he cairicd too far. A god fie beaten so thin that tissm uM tieridc it; it remains too diaphanous lor daily use. The •iM-sker here turned to the in- fldence of ideals »u life and fitted his UMMue to Um occasion by rerumblfdo what by tenard a gulden senteocc in W7TTT The Men of the Present Fall Short of the Stature of the Olden lime. The literary address at the com mencement of Converse College was made by Dr. S. M. Smith, of Columbia, and was the great event of the day. Dr. Smith bad not reduced his remarks to writing, and did not have even an outline of the address on paper, but the following summary will give some idea of the line of thought pursued. The speaker began with some re mark reminiscent of a visit ten years before, when he came to deliver the address at the first commencement of the college. Congratulating both the town and the college on the great ad vance made during the ten years’ iu- ~ terval, be' Introduced his address by a conversation had in a train^going west a few days before, when u thoughtful man asked the speaker whether or not' he thought the men of the present day in the various callings of life measured up to the slandaid of the former gen eration. Starting with this question, the speak er said with all regaid to the natural tendency to glorify the pa-t at the ex-, pease of the present and having also due reference lo the genenl elevation of average intelligence and ability, he » felt neverthdeaa constrained to the judgment that the men of the present id all departments of activity fell short of the stature of the olden lime. That with here and there a few exceptions the leaden in politics, press, pulpit, law, and medicine were not equal to those of the generation pass* d and still passing, ’that the dominance of |ier- * sooal influence seemed £uing; men like ' the Matterhorn lifting themselves far ♦ beyond I be level phua «d bumaliiiy amt catching on their lofty brows Um morwiwg <4 each new advance long «*v wmimnin W* 'SW —I father slfBals among the peaks prog nosticating the imraiiieiii storm >*f her alding a coming calm to those who bad long studied the sky about their summits. That such pre-eminent men ■eerne.l gruw.ng fewer year by year The reason* far this decteasr mtebt be manifold. Among others be would mention first of nil a regnant c> m- nmmaltsm The great pr>wpeiity *4 the country was the theme for etety tMMflM- the aggregate of iwcrea*4ng wealth was beyond imeiUgeot, a»le- uoote apt rrciatioo Wraith grows so (ant that the cousin la «SiuBiustr«t by 1 is iaf life aa< idea.* are set which must sonai gristi* been made 11 muy i>c c doUar c m br gold, but too Ttf-Triwii 1 * aiurnu 'WiiTHfH'tHnr'n i>r tbe day before, in which Dr had said ,t Kerry ideal that rules the world is either male or sau tioued by a- mail.' This seuiinignt Dr. SiuiiIi with us and will be transmitted to our children. It is high time that the Northern preachers and teachers and editors were learning a salutary lesson from these annual reunions of the old Confed- crates. If I had been a Federal soldier and lived up there, it seems to me that I would say, “ My brethren, those rebels must have been tremendously iu earnest. There is no letup or abate ment in their faith^. Forty years has not bumbled them one iota. We had better make friends with such a people and divide honors and pensions, too. They have carried an awful load for all these \cars. They have to,pay a good patt of the pensions to our sol diers aud all of the pensions to their own and a big tax to educate their ne groes; and they had to endure the rav ages and stealages of the carpet-baggers for years, but they never complain. They fight back and defend their honor, but, like the sous bf Alnomok, they never complain. Surely they are a great people. They suffer, and »re strong, aud when soldiers were wanted for Cuba aud the Philippines they came at the first call. Brethren, let’s stop all this anti-Southern sentiment and make our preachers aud editors stop it. There is uo‘ 'good iu rubbiug an old sore. We don’t know what may hap pen, and wt may need liaise boys to save the country. Tbe old veterans are dying out, but Ihetr sous are the same old stock. The South is fast coining to the front, and is destined to be a great power in the land, and if we keep on aggravating them with abuse, it is poMiblelbvy may get fighting mad some of these days aud get up another uva war and—and—and—whip ns again, or conic pretty near It."

What Attorney General Bellinger Thinks About It. Hon. It. Duncan Bellinger, Attorney General of South Carolina, has been interviewed by the News and Courier on tbe Tillman-McLaurin situation, and ins expressions along that line will be re&d with interest and some profit. The Attorney General was careful to remark that be is not in a position to give an extended criticism of the Sena torial fight, but here is what he said: “I do not care to have very much to say on the subject,” explained At torney General Bellinger, “but thvre are n few things I wish to say in de fence of the Governor’s action in le- plyiog to Senators Tillman and Me- Laurib. To be explicit I refer pariicu- hnly to the rumors that Governor Mc- Sweeney acted upon advice received after he returned from Cbicknmauga. Such a report has been In circulation, I believe. As a matter of fact the Governor formed Lis opinion 111 the mailer before he left C’hickamauga, and as soon as be returned to bis desk be drafted the communication Lo the .Senators .that has caused so much crit icism. That he, was not advised as to what cour-.e t</follow after returning from the unveiling Idiave been assur ed by liim. - “My opinion ol bis action iu reply ing to the Senators that they should reconridcr their action is that be fell iu'oan error of expression. 1 think lo the average mind there can be no ( tiier cimclusiort than (hat tbe Gover nor refused lo accept tbe resignation*, and that fa the way i consider it. I any that he was unfortunate in cboos- mg'hi* form of expression. Tl*y fact, ton, that the resignations were return ed ‘for consideration’ adds to. tfie coo- clu.Muu that the Governor's letter was a nfuaril mo 1 nut a letter of ads ice. 1 mi nrnm|ai’d to iilil, niiWWIT, HUH' lo not believe that the Governor in tended to convey the impmsioo (Jiat tbe rrsignaliott* would ba accepted. “The action that be look was abso- Utch without legal advice and I must 1 out ur with >cn>Tnr t’lliman that the Governor in so doing Uanacanded bis power.

It is not left 10 ibr G ivernor to say that they are Dot accepted, except, of course, id ibe event 1 hat be •hrsires to express him**If as 4 private rituen. He could not appoint, however, until {Septem ber l '‘Ti ia tins rase, and than call on ibr Jncteiatur* to approve of hit ac tion. Th* resignations were placed in the G ivernor a |ei**essioa for the pnr* |iose of notifying him and out for the ^ nrjHHe «4 getting legal or moral ad vice. “The niioic error i4 the Governor, *• 1 explaiuid, w.i* hi* expression. 1 fuel confide3t that he was under the iiupri*sioc tliat Ihe (teopla did not care lor a campaign this summer and that be acted for ihe interest* of the pao- ple. Thi* 1* another question that be Da* assured me. His nclioo, therefore, was inspiietKby a high motive. Hut uuforui||plely be overstepped his tHtuuds and he did it upon hit own re but I hold that hir! views are not wrong. In other words, I agree wilh him, as I said at the outset, in that the Governot transcended his authority in decliuing to accept the resignations’. “Senator McL turin has a made a mistake similar to that-of Governor McMweeney in the announcement that he is willing to withdraw his resigna tion; that is to abide by the opinion or decision of the Governor. In^this he is at faults But Senator McL.turiu might say that he made this declara tion in view of the advice given by McSweeuey as a citizen and uot as the chief officer of the State. “Both Senators made a grave mis take and showsd little wisdom in re signing as they did. It is clear to my mmd that they did it without reflec tion. As the expression goes, "one made the bluff and the other one call ed it. Bjth claims the honor of having called the bluff, that it il it is an bonor. Ihe Senators are morally responsible to the people and legally responsible to the Legislature. Therefore in re signing they shattered both hioral aud legal obligations. I believe, as many olher pe pie do, that there was more personal animosity in the move Unto a high conception of duty. “A great injustice has been done Uoffernor McSweeooy by .a report to the effect that he was in conspiracy with Senator Tillman. It has been said tnat the Governor came to an understanding with ihe senior Senator that if the resignations were submitted he would knowingly transcend bis au tborily and refuse to accept them in order to enable Senators Tillman and McLaurio to fight It out next summer, and tn that event the Governor would icsigu in favor of Lieutenant Governor James II. Tilimaa, who in turn would appoint McSweenty to fl.t oat the hott term and then appoint his uncle, Ban Tillman, to hia old offlea. Along iih rrDQri l 1 * Qubiw. the hot reply of Senator Tillman to tbs Governor was only a blind and simply a pmt of the scheme. This is a cruel injustice lo all pantea concern ed and 1 aifi glad that few regard the rumor as anything moie than idle talk.” While up-«a the subject of “rumors ' Attorney General l!«-hiipfer was asaed if b« had fully decided to aanouoce himself fur tha Uni'ad Jslaie* Senate next summer, lie replied that he bad not yet so decided, J>ut he theughi It most likelv that ha would run for Mc- Launa’s scat. Papa—-He he? THE UNITED STATEN BANK. Plans for Having a Monopoly of the Government Depofita. A Washington dispatch says '.hat J. Pierpout Morgan’s 1 plans for a great bank of the United Stales, which shall stead towards tbe United States gov- ernmeutas the Bank of England steads towards the British government, are rapidly taking shape. Agents of the combine which is engineering the deal,- have been here for some time, oiling the ways for the new bank, which is expected to receive deposits of millions from the government coffers. The names of those Intcrested are kept secret for the moment, but it is under, stood that Mr. Morgan and Oakley Thorne, president of the American Trust Co., are the moving spirits. Curiously enough, the bank will not have a large capitalization, thi* being fixed at only #1,000,000—a most iu significant amount compared to tbe total deposits whicb are expected. One hundred shares of stock, al £10,000 a share, will be issued to loO ot the largest banks in the. country. It will be necc-saiy for a bank to bo a share holder in the new instutnion in order lo make deposits wuh il. The backers' bank proposes to pay 3 per cent, iqi^rest ou »U_ deposits, which it nearly double thV present rate paid by banks in New York which serve as depositors for Chi cago and other out of-lowu banks The prom >ters of tbe scheme ar« couviuced that they will be able to pay a larger amount of interest than other banks becau*e they expect enormous free governmeut deposits, and etlim<te that their running ex penses will b« con-tderahly lower. Inasmuch us there will be only loO depositors aud the amount placed on deposit ihe Oecyaaity for a lanre worktnf foo-e —clerts, bookkepert, ttenogrspheis, etc. -will ba obviated and the lotei expense of running the hunk corres pondingly reduced. Mr. Thorne, it U said, will be president, but there will not be many other oflUera, and ina* the big salaries jpsiiallr pagi high official* will be dl*f>en**d with. ^ (De of the features ol tha propnaai which it ia expected will ba particularly attractive to mn*l financiers is Umi | which makes each depositor ia tha naw ! bank a partner in II.

Th3 silence which followed could be heard above the roar of tbe train.—Chicago News. was given out by tbe Gov ernor Wednesday afternoon an«P ap peared m the afternoon papers of that day. The mistake ia not lo fiie found iu the body of the reply, but from ihe fact that it doos not -comport with the 1 iguily of the office of Chief Executive to enter into a public controversy with any officer or citizen in tbe fashion that he has. I do not deny that it would have been eminently proper for him to have watten a personal letter to Senator Tillman embodying the in formation that be wished to impart, and then, if Senator Tillman so de sired, be, and not the Governor, could have given the letter to the public “There are, of course, several views of ibe Governor’s original action, but there can be only .one right one. I con aider that the only reply necessary for the Governor to have made, upon re ceipt of ihe letter of resignation of tbe Senators, was that they had duly been p a-jed into his hands. From this it is clear to see that I do not" believe the Governor has the right to say whetherDr not a primary snail be held in an off year. Hitch a question is not lo be determined by the Governor ac cepting or rejecting the resignation of a United States Senator v “A point to be coqsidered m this connection is tbe Governor’s relation to tbe State Democratic executive committee.

Tbe health aud happiness of our peo ple would be greatly increased if they would eat less meat, especially at this season of the ye*r.
